Chapter Text
“So I guess tomorrow’s it huh.” Dj asked.
“Yeah…it is. Let’s just go to sleep for now.” Superfish laid on the bed Dj made for him like usual, while Dj turned off the light.
Soon the night goes by fast and daylight rolls in filling the room with light.
Dj wakes up and gets out of bed to wake superfish up.
“Hey, get up sleepyhead.” Dj tapped his cheek.
“Mmh, okay! Stop poking my face human.” Superfish sat up rubbing the spot where Dj had poked.
“I’m going to go make breakfast if you want to come down with me.” Dj said.
“I’ll meet you down there I’m going to get ready for the day.” Superfish stood up heading towards the bathroom.
“Okay.”
___________________
After Superfish is done putting on his clothes, and brushing his teeth and hair he heads downstairs towards the kitchen.
“Hey I’m done getting ready.” Superfish walked in where Dj was almost done making their breakfast.
Dj looked towards Superfish, he was wearing his clothes.
DJ blushed seeing him.
How can he be so cute?!
“W-Why are you wearing my clothes?” He asked.
“You said I could?” Superfish was confused.
Oh wait…I did.
“Oh my bad, I guess I just forgot.” Dj turned his head quickly back to what he was cooking.
“You should sit at the table I’m basically done.”
“Okay.” Superfish pulled out a chair and sat in it.
Wait I know that smell, he’s making my favorite.
He figures it’s because this may be there last time eating together like this…no it is there last time, and Superfish has to accept that. Once this core is out he has to leave, he can’t stay.
Superfish feels a wave of sadness wash over him and at the thought of leaving his heart drops to his stomach, he realizes he doesn’t want to leave.
He doesn’t want to leave Dj.
He can’t think much because after being lost in thought he didn’t realize Dj was already setting up the table with his favorite dish, Shakshouka.
A dish made of eggs, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and garlic.
I know what a funny name but he knew he couldn’t be talking when in English his name is Superfish, he couldn’t admit it for a while that it sounded bad just to protect his ego but eventually he told Dj when he confronted him about it. But surprisingly when he did tell Dj all he did was laugh and said he understood why he would try to hide that. Thats one of the things Superfish likes about him, he never made fun of him even though he thought he would. He never judged him for his flaws or opinions.
Nobody’s ever done that before.
Dj interrupted Superfishs silence by finally putting a plate of Shakshouka in front of him.
“There you go” Dj said with a sigh.
Watching the excitement on Superfishs face come to life made Dj smile. “You really like this stuff don’t you.”
“Of course I do you make it taste so good” Superfish said grabbing a spoon and putting some on his plate.
“Well dig in I made more then usual”.
Superfish paused for a second then looked at Dj.
Dj realizing what he said didn’t dare make eye contact with him.
Superfish eventually looked away but began to have that pit in his stomach again. He brushed it off though just wanting to stay in the current moment without any worry.
Ive always loved DJs cooking, this was my first ever dish he made me when i slept over the 2nd time at his house and it’s my favorite. He taught me how to do it but it’s kind of complicated, I can never do it right, I just enjoy watching him make it. Plus he always does it perfect every time.
“Do you…want to watch a movie before the thing.”
Silence
“what thing” Superfish knew what Dj was talking about but for some reason he wanted Dj to say it, to put it out there that we are extracting the core today.
“You know” Dj hesitated before saying it
“The…core”
“Oh yeah.” Superfish acted like he forgot
“Um what movie did you have in mind” he said while picking at the food on his plat “You know I love movies.”
Back in Obscaria movies weren’t a thing. With witches being bitter self absorbed creatures it would be considered useless. After hiding in the Abandoned school and meeting Dj I picked up some hobbies. Drawing, dancing, reading for fun, and Dj says this isn’t a hobby but I feel like it is, watching movies.
“It depends what type of genre are you feeling.”
“Mmh I think I wanna watch something scary.” Superfish smiled.
“You always wanna watch something scary.” Dj couldn’t help but tease Superfish
“Well duh it’s the best genre of all time.”
“I definitely disagree but we can watch it today I guess.” he sighed
“yes!” Superfish exclaimed excitedly.
After scarfing all of his meal Superfish met Dj on the coach who was waiting for him to pick out a movie.
“I heard about this movie called the sixth sense, how about that.”
“Let’s see if it’s scary enough to scare me!” Superfish said with a smile on his face.
Dj can’t help but look at him admiring his pretty face. Seeing him all excited like that cheered him up and makes him forgot about the sorrowful things, like what’s about to happen today. The smile on his face eventually fades. DJs liked Superfish for almost 4 months and he knows it can never work out. Even though he wants it to he’s a human and Superfish is a witch, 2 totally different species. Dj wasn’t even supposed to know about him it’s only for this core that’s inside of him, that’s the only reason he ever got to experience this, Superfish. The thought of Superfish leaving makes him want to cry, though it’s not like he hasent already cried because of it.
I’m surprised I didn’t wake Superfish up when I was crying almost the whole night, I could barely get rest because of it. I’ve never experienced love before…atleast I think it’s love, what does love feel like and how do I know for a fact it is love?
Dj can feel he’s starting to tear up so he stops what he’s thinking.
He clears his throat and plays the movie.
“To be honest this isn’t scary” Superfish said, “but it is actually good.”
“I think it’s one of those psychological horror movies.” Dj says.
“Oh that makes more sense.” Superfish was so into the movie that he didn’t realize he’s shivering.
“Hey you look cold you want me to grab a blanket for you?” Dj said concerningly.
“That would actually be nice thank you.”
“Of course just let me pause this and I’ll be back in a sec.” Dj got up.
While watching him climb up the stairs for some reason he didn’t really want a blanket, he wanted Dj. That made him confused but he’s always felt different towards Dj.
It’s hard to explain. Everytime Dj compliments me, gets close, or we make eye contact my heart does a weird beat. It’s not a normal heart beat but it makes my stomach feel weird too, like I’m sick or something but I can’t get sick either way because I’m a witch. But it feels actually good, like a good feeling. I don’t understand physical touch but it feels nice. Dj explained it to me and I’ve seen how couples do it in movies like holding hands, hugging, leaning against eachother…kissing. It’s hard to admit but Dj is the only one I’ve ever imagined doing that with. I wonder if I have a crush on him but I still don’t fully understand how I feel, maybe I just envy him. I mean his life is way better then mine, he’s so likable, and yeah I know I’m good looking but… there’s something about how he looks, he doesn’t have a muscular build like me but he can lift me, his facial features are soft but sharp at the same time like his genes couldn’t choose, and whenever I see him without a shirt
Superfish paused
His cheeks felt hot and that’s how he knew he was blushing.
It’s happened already because of Dj.
Superfish pulls his knees up to his chest, wraps his arms around them and pulls his head down into them leaning to the side so he can peak out to see when Dj comes back.
Finishing his thoughts everytime he sees DJ without a shirt it’s not like he hasent seen a guy without a shirt it’s just every guy was a witch with a build like him, muscular, they were never slimmer like Dj, something about seeing a man without a six pack made Superfishs heart beat different and it makes no sense.
Superfish hears Dj coming back down the stairs and fixes his posture putting his feet back down.
“Hey, sorry if I took long I was trying to find a clean one Aloo covered the one you used last night with cat hair all over.”
“Oh it’s fine I don’t mind.” Superfish grabbed the blanket.
“Alright let’s unpause it, you good now?”
DJs concerned look on his face made me feel good, but then i realized Dj was closer then he was before. Did he do that on purpose? God I hope he didn’t notice we’re closer.
“Yeah, all good.” Superfish smiled wrapping himself around the blanket.
Cute Dj thought.
20 minutes later.
I really want to lean against Dj but how do I do that without making it weird? Should I just act like I didn’t get much sleep last night, mmh no. Maybe I’ll just say I’m still cold and I thought body heat would be better like they do in the army. (peak reference ifykyk). Yeah I’ll do that then. Superfish swallowed.
Here I go.
Superfish scoots a little closer hips almost touching and falls onto the other boys shoulder.
DJs breath hitches and he looks down at him. Superfish meets his gaze. There faces are so close their eyelashes are almost touching.
Both of them stop lost in each other’s eyes.
Dj really does love Superfishs colored eyes and the way the sun was hitting on them perfectly making them shine.
Even though DJs eyes are plain brown when the suns light hits them just right they glow up and become a light shiny brown. Superfish is so used to seeing eyes as odd colors, but he likes them basic…like DJs.
“Why are you leaning against me?” Dj asks.
Forgetting his whole excuse Superfish tries to figure out a different wording.
“I uhh was still cold so I thought body heat would maybe be a little better than just a blanket” Superfish looks down nervously breaking the eye contact looking back at the screen.
“I can get off if you want.” Superfish says as he lifts off Dj.
“No!” Dj says quickly leaning up to grab Superfishs shoulder. “I mean…I don’t mind I’m kind of cold too, it’s winter.”
“O-Ok” Superfish leans back down on him.
Holy shit did that actually just work?
Superfish felt a hand around his waist. his eyes looked down and DJs hand was wrapped around his waist.
His heart started to flutter again.
Its that same feeling of when he first did this to me when he was teaching me how to skip stones at the lake. It’s hard to pay attention to the movie but believe it or not Dj is making it a little easier even though he’s the reason I can’t. I’m definitely not cold anymore maybe I should relax.
Superfish couldn’t help but snuggle his head into the boys neck.
Dj swallowed.
I cant believe this is happening, we’re basically cuddling. I mean yeah we did hold hands and hugged before and touched each other in places couples would usually do but none of those were meant to be romantic. Superfish just hasn’t had anybody hold him like that and he wanted to see what it feels like, nothing big.
But this…this is different.
This isn’t just so he could see what it feels like, he actually wanted to use me to stay warm.
Maybe I’m overthinking, maybe he doesn’t mean it in any way like that.
Dj ends up just relaxing instead of trying to complicate things.
Movie ends
“Wow that was amazing.” Superfish said suprised.
“I can agree. I can’t believe he was dead the whole time.” Dj said
“Yeah, I guess some horror movies don’t need to be scary to be good.” Superfish smiled and looked up at Dj.
“Yeah” Dj smiled back
silence
Neither of them wanted to move and that was obvious.
Superfish was the first to stand up. “Well,” he stretched his arms “I think you know what we need to do so…I’ll get the potion ready.”
Superfish headed towards the door. “I’ll be back in a couple of minutes.”
“Oh uh okay.” Dj said quickly watching as Superfish closed the door on his way out.
Dj didn’t know what to do. He doesn’t want Superfish to leave, after all of this Superfish doesn’t care? Dj doesn’t want to loose Superfish, but he doesn’t know if he’s going to be able to prevent that from happening.
5 minutes have already gone by, what’s taking him so long? He’s able to fly to his house in under 2 minutes so why is it taking him a while. Does he maybe not want to leave me too…No, it’s probably just because he can’t find the potion. How about I just clean up the breakfast while I wait for him to come back.
Yeah, I’ll just do that.
Eventually after a couple of minutes he comes back.
“Hey I’m ba-“ Superfish notices Dj washing the breakfast plates.
He can’t help but smile.
For some reason everything Dj does somehow makes him look cute. It’s hard not to like anything about him, he’s just perfect.
It looks like Dj hasn’t noticed me yet…I should sneak up on him.
Superfish took of his heels and set them on the rug then tip toed over to the couch to set the bag with the potion inside down. Quietly he tip toed again until he was 2 inches away from DJs back.
He was humming a song.
Dj and me love music a lot.
Surprisingly…well not even surprisingly Dj is pretty good at singing.
He took me to a karaoke club one time, that was really fun.
Superfish waited until Dj put down the plate he was washing to scare him so it didn’t break.
“Boo!.”
“AGGHH” Dj screamed, turned around, and slapped him.
Superfish backed up and grabbed his cheek.
“Oww that hurt!”
Dj moved Superfishs hand to check if he was okay.
“Oh my god I’m so sorry, are you okay?!” He said concerningly.
“No duh you’re weak as heck!” Superfish laughed grabbing both of DJs hands pulling him closer than he already was.
“Mhm, well I could have sworn I have lifted you up before multiple times!” Dj pushed Superfishs hands against the kitchen island leaning over him.
“Well I guess you are a little strong, but not as strong as me.” Superfish smiled.
Dj chuckled.
The realization hit them both, Superfish was almost pinned down over the counter held by DJs hands. There Noses are almost touching and they can feel eachothers breaths…and most importantly, DJs leg is in between Superfishes thighs.
Holy fuck.
After a couple of seconds Dj leans back and gets off of him.
He clears his throat.
“Um right the potion, did you bring it.”
Superfish still in shock started to stutter.
“I um y-yeah I brought the potion.”
He leaned up off the counter speed walking over to the coach where he put the stuff.
Dj followed behind.
“You ready.” Superfish asked.
Dj hesitated
“Yeah.”
